Chapter 584 Actually, those two women were both me
Bai Yue was startled and was about to call for help when a familiar voice rang in her ears.
"Master, it's me, Ah Er!"
"Ah Er?"
Bai Yue looked up and, sure enough, met a pair of deep eyes—it was Hua Mu'an!
Hua Mu'an didn't say much. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and carried her silently into another empty room next door. He closed the door behind him, and the latch fell almost without making a sound.
The room was dimly lit, with only a few rays of sunlight squeezing through the cracks in the window, casting dappled shadows on the floor.
Hua Mu'an pinned her against the door, his arms bracing around her to form a closed encirclement, his hot breath spraying onto her face.
"you……"
Just as Bai Yue was about to speak, his warm kiss gently covered her lips.
His kiss was tinged with urgency, restraint, and a barely perceptible tremor.
Bai Yue subconsciously struggled for a moment, but Hua Mu'an held her even tighter. His hands gently caressed her waistline, and his kisses deepened, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
Hua Mu'an slowly released his arms from Bai Yue's embrace after a long while, and then suddenly knelt down in front of Bai Yue with a "plop", turning his arms to tightly hug her waist.
"Owner……"
His voice came muffled, carrying a sense of bewilderment from being trapped in a nightmare, and hot, wet tears quickly soaked Bai Yue's clothes. "Lately, I keep having the same dream... a recurring dream that makes me anxious and restless... in the dream... there are always two women."
He took a deep breath, as if he needed to exhaust all his courage to continue speaking.
"The first woman was standing in a very high place, as if she was talking to many people... I couldn't see her face clearly, but just hearing her voice made my heart pound uncontrollably. A kind of... an indescribable throbbing almost swallowed me whole... I wanted to get closer to her, to see her clearly, but no matter how fast I ran, I couldn't catch up with her."
He paused, then his tone suddenly became intense, even carrying a hint of self-loathing.
"The second woman... She wore a golden mask, so her face was also obscured... In the dream, I said a lot to her... a lot of nasty and vicious things! I cursed her as the most vicious and hypocritical woman I had ever met! I said that the mask perfectly covered her ugly face! I even swore that if I ever met her again, I would tear her to pieces to vent my hatred!"
Hua Mu'an suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot and filled with near-collapse confusion and self-blame.
He gazed at the white moon, his voice choked with sobs and despair.
"But I realized that the reason I was so frantically hurling insults at her... was because my gaze was involuntarily drawn to her! I was afraid... I was so afraid that I would fall for such a 'vicious' woman! So all I could do was keep cursing her, attacking her with the most vicious words, trying to numb myself, telling myself that she was a bad person, that I could never love her..."
When Bai Yue heard this, she understood that the two women in Hua Mu'an's dream, who had very different appearances but both caused him to have intense emotional fluctuations, were probably herself.
One is her outfit when she first met him in the Kingdom of Wulie, and the other is her look when she pretended to be burned.
"Why would Hua Mu'an dream about these things? Could it be that his memories of being controlled by drugs are actually sealed in his subconscious?"
Just as Bai Yue was pondering, Hua Mu'an, who had been waiting for a response, suddenly broke down completely.
He clung tightly to Bai Yue's waist, burying his face even deeper, tears streaming down his face as he sobbed like a lost and helpless child. "Master! Forgive me! Please forgive me! I clearly... I clearly love you! Why... why do I have those feelings for another woman in my dreams? Even if it's just a dream, I can't forgive myself for this betrayal! I'm in so much pain... It's so painful... I don't know what to do..."
His body trembled more and more violently, and his fingertips even began to unconsciously dig into his palms, showing a faint tendency to harm himself.
"No, we have to calm him down first. We absolutely can't let him think about self-harm again!"
Bai Yue was afraid that this stubborn ancestor would do something rash again, so she quickly raised her hand to cup his face, wiped away his tears with her thumb, and spoke gently.
"Ah Er, listen to me, close your eyes now."
Hua Mu'an looked at her through teary eyes, and slowly closed her eyes as instructed, with glistening teardrops still clinging to her long eyelashes.
"Little 1, I want to change into the 'Step by Step Firefly' outfit!"
Bai Yue spoke to the system in her mind.
"Okay, look at yourself now, you've changed into the suit!"
As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, Bai Yue took out the exquisite mask that Hua Mu'an had given her from the system space.
"Okay, you can open your eyes now."
Bai Yue's soft voice rang out, and Hua Mu'an slowly opened his eyes as instructed.
The familiar robes and dazzling elegance made his breath catch in his throat, and he almost blurted it out.
"That's right! The first woman in my dream... is exactly like her! It's exactly the same!"
Hua Mu'an's voice was filled with disbelief and shock, as if she wanted to etch Bai Yue's image into her very bones. Her fingers curled slightly, showing a hesitation that made her want to touch him but dared not.
Bai Yue remained silent, raising her hand to gently place the mask over her face, adjusting its position to cover half of her face, revealing her beautifully shaped jawline and lips.
"You, you are..."
The color drained from Hua Mu'an's face instantly, leaving only extreme shock and bewilderment!
Is the woman in your dream like me now?
As soon as Bai Yue finished speaking, the other person opened their mouth but could not make a sound, and could only nod mechanically.
"Now you understand!"
Bai Yue then removed her mask, revealing her originally beautiful and ethereal face. Looking at Hua Mu'an, who seemed to be in a daze, she smiled softly.
"The two women in your dream who confuse and cause you pain... are actually me."
Hua Mu'an stared at her blankly, the confusion in his eyes gradually fading away, replaced by a sudden realization and extreme joy.
He suddenly stood up and pulled Bai Yue into a tight embrace, his voice thick with nasal tone and trembling with the joy of regaining what he had lost.
“It’s you… It really is you… It’s so good… It’s really so good…”
